A word from Anchor and Hope

From the owners of Town Hall and Salt House comes Anchor & Hope Restaurant, an oyster bar and fish house located at 83 Minna Street. Housed in a renovated, 100 year old brick building, formerly the studio of sculptor Benny Bufano, Anchor & Hope offers the warmth of an Eastern Seaboard fish house… with dishes such as warm sea urchin served in the shell, our lobster roll, and petrale sole…and yes, there are dishes for those who fear the sea.Continued

"Good food, a little to over hyped but still good food. I would recommend the sea urchin appetizer. I have never liked it before but the way they cook it and incorporate it with crab is fantastic."

"Although the food was good and well prepared, the restaurant is overpriced. Portions are small. Also quite noisy. Not an intimate place but probably good for groups. I would not return."

"Appetizers were very good - The Lobster roll was OK. Service started out great and went downhill from there. My second time there and doubt I will be back, it is too expensive not to be great."

"Started with a dozen oysters from a nice selection of 6 fresh varieties that night. Nicely presented and great fresh favors. We both had the ciopino, as we saw a number of other tables enjoying it. It was a hit. Great rich broth with not too subtle spice and nice assortment of fish - clams, mussels, sea bass, and crab. A lighter dish that needs another course to make a meal.

Had an average bottleof Syrah. Service was attentive and knowledgeable and friendly. Only criticism, the chips that have been raved about, were stale and even rubbery."
